Op. 38. Par ELGAR EDWARD. This is the best of me, wrote Edward Elgar after the final measure of his Dream of Gerontius. Premiered in 1900, in Great Britain the work has long been a standard work in the repertoire of large oratorio choirs. Elgar?s moving, poetic setting of the eponymous poem by Cardinal John Henry Newman is about a dying man and his journey beyond death to God. Before the eyes of the listeners, a musical image of the soul is created which flies past mocking demons to God with its protecting angel at its side, is allowed to look at him briefly, then faces the purgatorial fire of salvation confident and comforted. The work is a real rarity in the history of oratorio, and for large choirs it is a thrilling alternative to the established repertoire of Requiem settings. Its popularity is thanks to the suggestive, often sensuous power of the music, the great choral scenes of the demons and the Angel, and the three impressive solo parts. All previous editions were reprints based on the historic first printed materials, which are inconsistent. By contrast, Carus has produced a modern, newly-engraved edition, compatible in all sections, which takes all the sources into consideration and evaluates the autograph manuscript in detail. For this edition the complete orchestral material is available on sale, and the vocal score and full score contain both English and German singing texts. The full score is also available digitally. / Date parution : 2022-05-31/ Répertoire / Solistes, Ch?ur SATB et Orchestre

Elgar published the Chanson de Matin and its partner Chanson de Nuit at the time of his life when he was also creating the Enigma Variations and The Dream of Gerontius. This work was originally created as a Violin and Piano duet but Elgar then Orchestrated the work and it was presented at the Proms. Since then other arrangements have been created.Although published in 1897 scholars suggest that these two works may have been written in the 1880’s. The contrast of the two melodies which Elgar then intertwines yields a satisfying short work especially with the composer’s fine Orchestration.

Arr. Philip Sparke. Par ELGAR EDWARD. Avec Pomp and Circumstance, un cycle de cinq marches militaires, Edward Elgar a donné à la marche une véritable dimension symphonique. La Marche n° 1 est incontestablement la plus célèbre des cinq. De la mélodie du trio, Elgar devait déclarer qu’elle était de celles dont on n’a l’inspiration « qu’une fois dans sa vie ». Il réutilisera cette mélodie dans son oeuvre chorale Coronation Ode (1902) pour accompagner le texte Land of Hope and Glory d’A. C. Benson. Depuis, Land of Hope and Glory est devenu une sorte de second hymne national anglais et fait partie intégrante de la célébrissime Dernière Nuit des Concerts-promenades (the Last Night of the Proms). / Niveau : 2.5 / Musique pour célébration / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

In addition to the many large-scale works for which he is celebrated Elgar also wrote a plethora of songs among them approximately fifty part-songs. Fly Singing Bird is one part of a two-part work that sets the poetry of the composer’s wife. Alice Elgar had published an epic poem Isabel Trevithoe a Cornish love story from which the words of Fly Singing Bird were excerpted.Fly Singing Bird is a delightful early Elgar work that has been popular with Choral concerts and festivals.

Elgar's oratorio The Apostles was the biggest endeavour of his creative life. Elgar used the Bible as the source for his libretto taking words and phrases combining separate stories and superimposed different actions one upon another until the psychological emphasis of the libretto reflected its composer as faithfully as the music it was to serve.The Elgar Complete Edition brings together for the first time all of the composer's surviving music from printed and manuscript sources.
